3.1 To create an additional (cumulative) carbon sink of 2.5–3 GtCO2e through additional forest and tree cover by 2030
4.1 To put forward and further propagate a healthy and sustainable way of living based on traditions and values of conservation and moderation, including through a mass movement for ‘LIFE’– ‘Lifestyle for Environment’ as a key to combating climate change
